Dear Friends,

As we share our 2023-2024 Annual Report, we are filled with gratitude for the dedication of our educators, the resilience of our students, and the unwavering support of our community. This past year was a pivotal one for SFUSD, as the district embarked on transformative efforts to strengthen instructional systems, address persistent challenges, and lay the groundwork for a brighter future for all students. At Spark SF Public Schools, we are proud to have played a critical role in mobilizing philanthropic investments to accelerate this work and drive meaningful systemic improvements towards student success.

Since its founding in 2015, as of FY2024, Spark SF Public Schools has mobilized over $138 million to support the district’s highest-priority initiatives—investing $14.7 million in Fiscal Year 2024 alone. 

Through strategic partnerships and targeted investments, we have worked alongside district leaders to provide teachers with the tools, training, and resources they need to ensure that every student thrives. From anchoring a decade-long public private partnership to transform SFUSD student dining experience to supporting the construction of a STEM innovation hub to strengthening career pathways for students, Spark has been a steadfast partner in addressing the most urgent needs of our public schools. 

With the collective support of families, educators, businesses, and community leaders, we can build a stronger, more inclusive, and thriving public education system that truly serves all students. Together, we can strengthen our public schools, unlock student potential, and invest in the future of our city.

Because when our students thrive, San Francisco thrives.

With gratitude and commitment,
